It touched 16 municipalities, 113 schools and involved 63 Pivara Skopje employees giving 183 volunteering hours. The project was implemented through classes and content adapted to the age, covering all four-graders in the country, making them understand that their behavior can help them protect their own health, but also the health and safety of their peers and other people in school and more. In the presence of their teachers, young people got the opportunity to learn more and hear practical advises on how to prevent injuries caused by sliding, tripping and falling; how to maintain proper posture while sitting at school, while working in front of a computer; and how to react in case of fire at school.
